Hmm the audience didn't really react to that. Did they not "get it" or is the Rick Roll thing past its prime?

So that is the new rick roll now huh? Sigh..

This is the new Rick Roll.

I was going to not-upvote because of the rick roll... But the Vader bit kinda pushes me back in the other direction...

Imagine: on this planet everyone looks like goatse, one has to wonder if there is a webpage which they show each other that looks like one of us just standing upright, maybe waving and they all rick-roll each other with it and go "EEEEWWWW" when they look at the horror that is our bi-pedal upright selves.

HAHAH

EPIC RICK ROLL!

I was expecting a rick roll at the end.

I don't understand this whole "Rick Roll" phenomenon at all. Where did it start, why do people do it, and how is it considered amusing?

I was actually rick rolled at Krogers. I'm betting someone in the Kroger HQ piping that stuff to stores across America was roflmao'ing all over his cubicle.

They should really consider mass marketing the Rick Roll fish... That was brilliant...

It might help with quality, or it might not. I think if VS users start looking for videos at Scrape Up to post, it will make this place more like the other aggregators because it will tend to homogenize all the aggregator sites. I think it's bad enough as it is when certain sifters treat their queues as RSS feeds from Digg

Think about it: If the people at I-Am-Bored and Milk And Cookies start going to Scrape Up to upload videos we've already sifted here, and then we have people here grabbing videos from those sites via Scrape Up, and then the Diggers and Stumblers start marking a lot of the videos at Scrape Up, then the content will start to become more uniform at all those sites, including ours. And to me, brothers and sisters, that would make this place boring.

Now one could argue that even without Scrape Up there's a lot of 'cross-pollination' going on already, and I wouldn't disagree with that. I've already seen a number of our popular videos suddenly get front-paged at I-Am-Bored and College Humor, for example. However I see Scrape Up significantly accelerating that process, especially as it grows in popularity.

Now I am not TOO concerned, because this place has enough members who've found their own little niche in which they post videos that are well outside the mainstream. However, even if a few of those obscure videos start getting picked up by the other sites, then I think VS might lose the biggest edge it has always had: Its IMMENSE variety. How many other sites have Dr. Who getting Rick-rolled, Stephen Colbert, Manila's City of Garbage, the history of the string bikini, and beautiful Slovenian caves, all on the front page at the same time? But if even one or two of those got front-paged at other sites because they conveniently found them at Scrape Up, then I think it decreases our competitive edge.

Of course everything I just wrote could be the ether talking and not me.

I'm guessing since his passing they're trying to get his estate in order. It'll be like that for a long time. I haven't even looked through my old videos that much, I'm sure there's a lot of dead ones.

Dang! There isn't a suitable replacement and I'm not inclined to stick junk in there or pull a 'Rick Roll' . Has this ever happened to you? Should I let it sit in the deadpool until someday someone finds a replacement ? Such a shame, the recent upgrade was great.
